He struggled through numerous quit attempts - determined not to be ""that doctor who smokes.""

In 1999, they founded the Fontana Tobacco Treatment Center at UCSF. Their program is now available to anyone in the new edition of Learning to Quit . Paul Brunetta earned his MD from Tufts University Medical School. Suzanne Harris earned her nursing degree from Excelsior College.
